To install mulvoc, you need to download the tarball, and
the LanguageCodes.tab file, and put the elisp files from the
bundle into a directory on your load path. You must set up a
directory to contain the dictionaries, which by default is
"~/dictionaries" but you can change this by setting the
emacs-lisp variable mulvoc-dictionaries-directories
(which gives a list of directories, rather than a single
directory), and put general.csv (from the bundle) into it. Place
LanguageCodes.tab in a location pointed to by the emacs-lisp
variable language-codes-file-name, by default
"~/dictionaries/LanguageCodes.tab". Then, to activate
mulvoc-mode, type M-x mulvoc-mode in a buffer where
you want it turned on. The first time you start it in an Emacs
session, it will load the language data, which is currently
quite slow. (I plan to optimize it for when there is only one
dictionary file; the slow stuff is putting together overlapping
definitions from multiple dictionaries.)
